This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link
the one that charged me and did not fix anything was Town motors in englewood NJ which is the closest to me, Paul miller told me it was probably because I modded the car and they kept insisting the car was chipped which I know for a fact it is not.

POST 1Original post

hey guys, well this is a bit of a rant and some questions. I own a 07 cayman S, for the past month it the check engine light keeps going on and off and the codes are 4 missfires and the 2 o2 sensors, I keep taking the car to the dealer but according to them they can not find anything wrong with the car and they just delete the codes for what they charge me $150 dollars each time, mind you the car is still under warranty and now they are giving me the run around because I had a catback installed :crazy: would this really void the warranty?? I have also read here that other members had similar codes and they had to replace the cats, do you think this is my problem? pics for clics

POST 2Original post

Have a different dealer check the plug coil packs. There have been reports of cracking packs. The cats are a symptom, not the problem.

POST 3Original post

thank you! I just made an appointment for monday at a different dealership so hopefully they can fix it. I also called porsche of america and told them about being charged for something that should be covered by the warranty, they told me I was right and that they will contact the dealer to see what the deal was.

POST 4Original post

just got a call from the dealer, the problem is a bad cat and they will replace it under warranty, they also found a few other little problems like a bad horn and other things that will be covered under warranty. :dance: I have to give a thumbs a to Jack Daniels service in NJ because finally someone took the time to help me out not like the other 2 local dealers

POST 5Original post

I just had a friend who had cats replaced under warranty in his '06 CS.

POST 6Original post

Hope you can get some of your money back from the first dealer for charging you $150 twice and not trying to diagnose the actual problem!

POST 7Original post

worth posting who the less than helpful dealers were:thanks:

POST 8Original post

I doubt I will get any money back but at least I learned my lesson and they lost 2 customers (me and my stepfather). the one that charged me and did not fix anything was Town motors in englewood NJ which is the closest to me, Paul miller told me it was probably because I modded the car and they kept insisting the car was chipped which I know for a fact it is not.

POST 9Original post

Interesting info, thanks for the update. A fellow Tri-Stater, check out the Nor'Easter section for local events with other Cayman nuts!

POST 10Original post

So I picked up my car and it finally feels like the day I bought it. To tell you the truth I was getting kind of annoyed to the point that I was considering trading in the car for a bmw or something different but not anymore :banana:the work and service at this dealer was great, they did under warranty: -Catalytic converter, seals and manifold -replaced horn -replaced a few seals that were leaking oil Since the car was at the dealer I decided to do the annual maintenance, a bit pricey but I was very happy with the work and the service. On another note I got a call from Porsche of America, I made sure to tell them the difference between the dealers and the service depts. They are sending me a check for what the other dealer charged me. :cheers: PistolPete I have been meaning to come put to a few of the meets but I have not had the opportunity yet :thanks:
